Colossians 3
1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Cwale haiva Ireza ava mivusi ni Keresite, mu gane zintu zo kwi wulu, uko Kerisite wikere kwi yanza lye chilyo lye Ireza.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Muhupule cha zintu zina mwi wulu, isiñi che zintu za hefasi.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Kakuli muva fwi, mi vuhalo bwenu vupatitwe ni Keresite mwa Ireza.
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Hate na voneke Keresite, iye vuhalo bwenu, cwale kamu voneke naye mwi nkanya.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Muvike kwifu, cwale, zilama zina hasi- vushahi, kusa jolola, kusava ni chishemo, itakazo imbi, ni ku lya ahulu, ili maswaniso.
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Ivali njezi zintu kuti vukali bwe Irea vu kezite ha vaana swisu vasa zuwi.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
Njimona mwezi zintu nanwe ha imwi inako mumu va yendi hamuvali kuhala muzili.
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Kono hanu inwe muswanera kusoha zonse izi zintu- vukali, vuvengi, mihupulo mivi, kutukana ni ziyambo zivilala kuzwa mu milomo yenu.
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Kanji mukuli chenganga, akubona muva cupuli muntu wakale ni nkezo zakwe,
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
mi ci muva zwati muntu muhya unzo yo chafazwa mwi ngana cho kuya che chiswaniso chozo yenke yava chivumbi.
11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.
Ichi njaho kakusina Mugerike ni Mujunda, womupato ni yasali wamupato, mubabaria, Sisenia, mutanga, yolukuluhite, kono Keresite nji yense, mi wina muzonse.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
Muzwate, cwale, sina va ketiwa ve Ireza, kuchena ni sakiwa, vali tovohete, mañeke, kusalitundula, inse, ni kusavenga.
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
Mukwaterane zumwi cha zumwi. Muve ni musa kuzumwi ni zumwi. Haiva zumwi wina impiraero kuamana ni zumwi, muswalere mwi nzira iswana mwava kuswaleleri Simwine.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Hewulu wezi zonse zintu, muve ni rato, ili icho chisuminiso che kuvahande.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
Muzuminine i nkozo ya Keresite kuvusa mwi nkulo zenu. ivali cheyi kozo hamuva sumpiwa mumuviri umwina. Mi mulitumere.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
Muzuminine linzwi lye keresite lihale mwenu cho vufumu. Cho vutali vonse murute mi mususuweze zumwi ni zumwi cha lisamu ni zimbo ni zimbo zo luhuho. Muzimbe cho vulitumero mwi nkulo zenu kwe Ireza.
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Mi chose chimupanga, muma nzwi ni mwi kenzo, mupange zonse mwizina lya Simwine Jesu. Muhe vulitumero kwe Ireza ishetu chakwe.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Vafumahali, mulivike kusi yiva mwihenwanu, sina haili iswanero kwa Simwine.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
Veshetu, musake vafumahali venu, mi kanji muvi ni vuvengi kuamana navo.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Vahwire, muzuwe ziva miwambira vashemi venu muzintu zonse, kaukili ichi chi tavisa kwa Simwine.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they will not be discouraged.
Veshetu, kanji muvengisi vanenu, iri kuli kanji va zwafi.
22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
Vatanga, muzuwe vamiyendisa cho kuya chenyama muzintu zonse, isiñi cha musevezi wa menso sina vatavisa vantu, kono che nkulo yavuitumero. Mutiye Simwine.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Chonse cho panga, usevezekuzwirira kumuhupulo sina kwa Simwine mi isiñi cha vantu.
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Mwinzi kuti kamu tambule kwa Simwine impo zo kuyola. Ji Simwine Keresite uzo umusevereza.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Uzo yense yo mpanga zisalukite zava pangi, mi kakwina chilivonda.
